Opposed to functionalism, Barragn strove for an emotional architecture claiming that any work of architecture which does not express serenity is a mistake.

This area, possibly designed with Barragns advice in mind, is arguably the most impressive aspect of the building complex. He was a highly recognised consultor by many Mexican and International architects on landscape design, as he had a particular ability to envision the outdoor spaces and their relation to their interior paradigms and the natural context characteristics.
